Go out, find ten laptops with this chipset, start the livecd and see for yourself if you can work with such a slow thing. Then report the numbers. If 10 is not sufficient try 100. If you can't, try setting up a website for just testing regressions. Or since we already have launchpad you can take a look for yourself: [BTW, where is the data from the ubuntu hardware test?] https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel?field.searchtext=jaunty&orderby=-importance&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=NEW&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITH_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITHOUT_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=CONFIRMED&field.status%3Alist=TRIAGED&field.status%3Alist=INPROGRESS&field.status%3Alist=FIXCOMMITTED&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch=&field.has_no_package= Please if you want to insist that the case is not common bring numbers. The latex case is common indeed. If you don't believe me set up a survey. If _I_ do that, it will be possible to argue that the poll is biased or whatever. You won't get users switch from windows (I wonder how it is even possible that tex users landed there, btw) if kile is broken and okular is in the current state. Fixing problems requires time. People is working on fixing the intel driver, or okular but jaunty is released broken. I am tired of having to argue that things are broken vs. things are broken just for me. If you prefer, instead of solving the problem locally for every person who asks me, I will encourage them to write e-mails here. (no, not really). If every case can be argued to be uncommon, why worrying at all with fixing bugs? No bug affects all users. I see that when bad things about ubuntu are pointed out, typically you only get defensive answers by users. They all seem not to understand that, at least in my case, I usually *do* defend ubuntu against too easy critics, just like you. But if the problem exists, I'd like to see some developers just admit it. No, I am not asking for a public "apologise" as someone might imagine. I am asking a policy on regressions. I will probably ask for it in every release until the end of the world, but I still am not convinced that things are going well on that side.
